S R E T S W R G IN THE SING During the summer a group of older tenants from Llanrwst got together to form the first Cartrefi Conwy African Choir. They have had great fun learning some tribal songs as well as classics such as ‘Yellow Bird’. The Rwsters were coached by renowned voice coach Sheila Brook and internationally acclaimed performer Dymphna D’arcy. The Rwsters took centre stage performing their first live show at Cartrefi Conwy’s Older Persons Day resulting in a huge round of applause.

Research shows that staying active, having new experiences and self-expression can improve and enrich your quality of life and this is certainly evident at these singing sessions”.

WATC H https://vimeo.com/178006609

Nerys Veldhuizen, Older Person’s Engagement Coordinator said: “The sessions were so much fun and I am so impressed at the singing talents of the Rwsters.

BOOK OF YOU During the Summer Cartrefi Conwy ran a 6 week digital story book course ‘book of you’ for the tenants of Park Way and surrounding areas. The group worked on digital tablets and created their own unique stories through pictures, words and music.

JUICE QUENCHING WORK AT THE ORCHARD An apple juice making day on the 26th of September was a great idea and also a very successful one, for children and residents from Chester Avenue. Residents got together with Gwyl, from Keep Wales Tidy who brought along the juicers, and Y Foryd School who made the event part of their Victorian Day. A fantastic day was had by all squeezing apples from the Chester Avenue orchard and making apple juice to take home. The event certainly brought the community together and hopefully encouraged them to visit and use the orchard more.

Thanks to everyone who took part and made this a great day.

OLDER PERSONS DAY Cartrefi Conwy’s Older Person’s Day is a fantastic event and a great way to celebrate the role that older people continue to play in our communities.

It was an emotional day too for 82 year old pensioner Josie Hughes who cried tears of joy after being honoured for her volunteering work helping out neighbours and raising money for charity.

Phil Batty of Rhos-on-Sea was also celebrating as he won The Older Person’s Champion Award, and the Outstanding Neighbour Award was won by Brian Hughes, of Old Colwyn, An emotional Josie, said: “It’s fantastic and I’m so pleased. It’s just what I do. I like to help people and will do anything anyone asks me to do if it helps, selling raffle tickets or delivering leaflets, I do what I can.

“They all say my door is always open to anyone and if I’m asked I’ll do it if it helps. My aim is to help as many people as I can.”

Older Person’s Champion Phil Batty is chair of the Coffee Club and organises outings to places like Liverpool, Southport and art galleries, as well as other social events for members.

He also helps organise the Happy Friday Club, running bingo sessions and other activities for the club’s more than 50 members.

Conwy County Borough Council Councillor and Older Person’s Champion, Andrew Hinchliff, a member of the judging panel, said: “We had so many lovely stories to consider and there were so many that were deserving of recognition."

£2.75 MILLION IMPROVEMENT WORKS AT TRE CWM IN LLANDUDNO Works are well underway on our second large-scale estate project to transform Tre Cwm in Llandudno. We are modelling our approach on the work we carried out at Parc Peulwys in Llysfaen that’s now winning awards and that’s something we hope to repeat at Tre Cwm. Improvement works to the properties include new windows, new roofs and external wall insulation as part of a large environmental project.

We have worked closely with residents over the past 12 months to develop these plans and are in the process of carrying out improvements to enhance the appearance of their homes and ensure that they are brought up to standard.

Plus the external environmental works have started and will continue through Summer 2017 on 60 individual projects planned to change play areas, estate access, open green spaces and parking to make Tre Cwm a nicer place to work, live and play.

Over the coming months residents will have the opportunity to get involved. Wates, the main contractor, has donated sponsorship to the local community centre Ty Llewelyn to run activities, especially for younger residents, to lessen the temptation of misadventure and keep them safe during construction works.

ARE YOUR HOME ?

D E T C E T O R P S G IN G N AND BELO What would you do if you arrived home after a night out or a trip away to find out that someone had broken into your home or a pipe had burst and flooded your property?

Premiums start from as little as £1.77 a week (for tenants aged under 60), and just £1.22 a week for tenants aged 60 and over.

Premiums can be paid alongside your rent.

Your belongings are not automatically insured

by Cartrefi Conwy against fire, theft, water damage and other household risks. So, if you haven’t thought properly about insurance cover, you could be in for a shock. However, Cartrefi Conwy has joined forces with The National Housing Federation and Thistle Tenant Risks to offer you My Home contents insurance scheme.

KEEP WARM

BUT KEEP COSTS DOWN!

With colder weather here keeping warm is important for our health and wellbeing but it can be expensive.

Do you know in UK homes, we use more energy to heat our rooms than for any other purpose – in an average home 62% of all the energy we use goes to heating.

This also means we spend a lot of money on keeping warm in our homes, on average UK households spend £750 a year on gas (the most common fuel for home heating).

But there are things you can do to help reduce the cost of keeping warm: 10

www.cartreficonwy.org

My Home Insurance 0845 337 2463

Remember we now offer Direct Debit payments to be collected weekly or fortnightly on any day of the week or monthly on the 1st, 7th, 16th, 20th or 23rd. Plus, you can make a rent payment by phone during office hours Monday – Friday with a member of the Customer Services Team • Make sure your thermostat is set to the right temperature. Around 18o is recommended and turning it up by just 1o could add £75 a year to your bill.

• Cut out draughts. Draughts from doors and windows mean heat is escaping from your home. Simple draught-proofing and thick curtains can help keep the heat in.

• Switch your supplier. If you haven’t compared your energy provider or plan in more than 12 months then you could be paying more than you should be. Some switchers could save hundreds of pounds a year.

HELP REDUCE MOULD Winter is also the time of the year when mould can build up in our homes but it’s easily kept at bay by following a few simple steps like, wiping away condensation quickly.

Better still avoid condensation by opening air vents or a small window to allow air flow, especially when bathing, cooking or drying laundry.

We’ve got a free animated ‘Help Reduce Mouldy’ kit that gives you more quick tips to keep mould away. You might already have one of these kits but if not call 0300 124 0040 to request one today.

CALCIUM LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES These batteries, found in phones, E-cigarettes and laptops (among other devices) have had a lot of media attention lately. The recent recall, and subsequent cancellation, of the Samsung Galaxy Note 77 due to a problem with overheating and, on occasion, ignition of the batteries has gathered widespread attention.

As a general rule, these batteries can be considered to be unsafe if overcharged, overheated or in any way damaged. Cheap replacement chargers sourced from unbranded suppliers or designed to charge other batteries may not charge Lithium-Ion batteries properly. Should they operate at too high a voltage, or improperly regulate the charge, they can lead to overcharge. This can result in “venting with flame”.

12

www.cartreficonwy.org

There is also risk of overcharging “E-cigarettes” which typically have very short recommended charge times (some only a few hours) and while many E-cigarettes do prevent overcharge, it’s fair to say that this is a relatively new industry, and the majority of people would not know a “reputable” brand. Charging one of these less well-made E-cigarettes overnight would considerably increase the risk of overcharge and fire.

TMENT IN O P P A T N E M E G A N A M F BOARD O Having read our article in the Summer about our vacancy for a tenant board member, tenant Sarah Bennett-Evans contacted the Governance team to find out more about the role. After submitting a comprehensive application and interviews by a panel comprising board members and the Chair of the tenant scrutiny panel, Sarah was appointed by the Board with effect from 3 October 2016.

The Cartrefi Conwy Board has 15 Board members in total and all appointments to the Board are unpaid.

THE 5 TENANTS SERVING ON THE BOARD ARE: Robert Redhead, who represents the Board on the Health & Safety Steering Group and is also appointed to the Development Committee and the Audit & Risk Management Committee

Elwen Roberts, who also sits on the Board of our subsidiary company, Creating Enterprise Colin Matthews, who also serves on the Operations Committee and the Remuneration & Nominations Committee Bill Hunt, who was recently appointed as Chair of the Operations Committee Board members can serve for a maximum of 9 years. Tenant board members are subject to retirement by rotation on a 3 year rolling basis.

This means that from time to time vacancies do arise. We are keen to hear from anyone interested in becoming a Board member and are able to offer ongoing training and development to support those that have the time to commit to such a role, as this helps ensure that when vacancies do arise they can be filled as soon as possible.
